Default power window & lock

Hey everyone, my 99 corvette is having issues, the power window & lock aren't working on the passengers side. What could it be?

Most likely the door accordion, pull off the rubber boot and shake the crap out of the wires and it'll probably work again. Bill Curlee has a full write up on the forum somewhere about the proper repair as the one I said is only temporary

I'll look for it. Thank you.

Check fuse 30 in the footwell. It is just for the passenger door.

If you need to check the connector for the door, pull back the door accordion and the connector is in the A-pillar, not in the door. Make sure it is well seated and you can also inspect to make sure the female connector portion does not have any issues you need to readjust/bend back into correct shape.

Worst case is the door module circuit board is bad. Not likely all four relays would go bad at once. Same case for the two motors in the door.

I've been fighting this problem on my 99 FRC for 2 years now, last time it worked I put a new regulator in, the freaking windows & locks worked for one day.
Now it drains the battery dead overnite.

You need to put an ammeter in series with your battery and start unplugging stuff until it goes away. Or you could get a DC amp clamp, which will provide more flexibility by allowing you to run around the car clamping things. You can borrow mine if you need.
